I'm a plein air artist too....these are the best online tutorials available....... attitude is everything!

I love watching you paint on location and appreciate how you share your painting process. Thank you.

I am not an artist but just watching you paint makes me so calm and happy!

Your videos are mesmerizing inspirations for me 🥲 My free therapy sessions... If I ever lack the will to paint, they bring me right up. Thank you so much 💖

I love the different direction brush strokes in the sky!

Great video Michael , can’t believe you can paint this size in two hours , love the painting, thank you again for sharing

awesome!! a big sky does create a nice sense of space to the scene!! love it

I appreciate you! Thank you for doing what you do! Your inspiring me to break out my painting supplies. 😊

I like the different brush strokes showing in the sky. I decided today that the weather is getting warm enough for me in London to get outside and paint again. Next weekend I will be out in the parks again

Lovely! I really like the composition.

Thank you Michael for a wonderful painting. And thank you for the tip of turning the canvas out of direct light to better judge the values!

Two hours is fast, especially at that size! I agree about the rounded stretcher bars. I hate that, I'm not sure why they make them that way. I guess that maybe it's easier to stretch the canvas over a rounded edge than a sharp 9O degree edge?...who knows. Anyways it came out great as usual.👏

Absolutely love the light on the distant hills. Superb. Cherish the painting I got from you - I just keep looking at it 🥰

Great brushwork and color. I did not know if the blue shadows on the distant hill would work, but they did. A very attractive and welcoming piece.

Good morning really like this one! Something about the big sky is serene while the waves bring the energy.

Very nice, enjoy your sea scapes capturing California and Oregon coast line, Thamk you for posting

Great color!

BIG SKY is a beautiful success 🙂

Great work!! You've got an amazing eye for picking out the perfect scenes 🌊🧘‍♀️🎨

I love this piece- sky is terrific, front headland reads SO well. I find myself bothered by the slanting lights on the back headlands- feel repetitious- is there another way to change some of the shapes so they still read as light and shadow? This is where knowing your subject and loving it as you do gives you a creative advantage. I dont know the coast. I can make changes in the mountain environments here I know so well- the many possible patterns and colors. Great vjdeo!

Good morning Michael

love the painting and your insightful explanation! do you thin the paint to create the fogs and the cloud?

good morning Michael😎
